Class Main

Object
Main
public class Main extends Object
Main driver class for the Game. The game has a number of program arguments, with only two that are **required** to function.
  • --data={data filename}
    data file needed for the game, contains MOBs and Fortunes
  • {save filename}
    save file needed for the game, contains knights
Both are optional, as they have default values.

Examples:

     java Main 
     java Main knights.csv
     java Main --data=data/gamedata.csv
     java Main --data=gamedata2.csv mygame.csv

  • Field Details

    • gamedata

      private static String gamedata
      The location of the game data. defaults to gamedata.csv, but the --data={file} arg will reset the value

    • saveData

      private static String saveData
      The location of the saved file, with a default (new game) file being knights.csv. The first non-specific/flagged argument replaces this file.

      public Main()

  • Method Details

    • main

      public static void main(String[] args)
      Takes in command line parameters, looks through the program arguments. Builds the objects to run the game, and passes control over to the GameController. Example code includes 
           processArgs(args); // method that parses the args, optional but cleaned up the code
     GameData data = new CSVGameData(gamedata, saveData);
     GameView view  = new ConsoleView();
     CombatEngine engine = new CombatEngine(data, view);
     GameController controller = new GameController(data, view, engine);
     controller.start();
      Hint: first write a loop that looks at the arguments, and then worry about processing. We also suggest getting the entire programming working first, and work on this part last.
      Parameters:
      args - the command line arguments option

    • processArgs

      private static void processArgs(String[] args)
      loops through each each program argument (args). checks to see if the argument starts with --data. If it starts with data, takes the substring of the argument (after the = sign) to set the gamedata. else, any other argument sets the saveData value (even if it has been set)
      Parameters:
      args -
